So far I've rebuilt the power brick (Big Blue, fuses, fuse block, and bridge rectifier). I installed the rebuild kit for the AR/II board just last night. My voltages are pretty much perfect all around, as far as my knowledge goes. Problem is, I still have solidly lit player buttons. When I put it into test mode, after a brief pause, the speakers play a constant solid tone. At that point if you press any of the other buttons, they each play a slightly unique note. Unless someone can tell me, I don't think it is part of the system test.
Today I removed all the chips and cleaned the legs with an eraser, then reseated. Still no joy.
The monitor is pretty much toast right now. I can see a few wires that have been munched on by rats. And the TO-3 transistors look pretty bad, phsically. I plan on doing the rebuild on that as well, but my hope was to actually have the game playing blind by now.
Any thoughts?
